Hundreds of vehicles get stuck in massive traffic jam in Gurgaon, netizens compare it to Bengaluru

Indian Express3 days ago
A video of a traffic-choked road in Gurgaon has caught the Internet's attention, triggering widespread reactions. The footage showcases the daily ordeal of commuters stuck in heavy traffic during rush hours, a sight that stunned many users. However, some users, in the comments, shared that they have grown used to it.
The now-viral video, reportedly filmed near Cyber Hub in Gurgaon's Sector 24, shows hundreds of vehicles crawling along a busy highway, barely moving forward. The footage has racked up over half a million views, along with thousands of likes and comments across social media.
Sharing the video, an Instagram handle @nomadic_ankit_ wrote, 'Ab fark nahi padta (It doesn't bother anymore)' with 'Ab toh aadat see hai mujhko aise jeene ki,' playing in the background, a line from a popular Bollywood song that loosely translates to, 'Now I've gotten used to living like this.'

While many viewers were shocked by the extent of the congestion, others shared hilarious reactions. 'Problem is people made this norm. No one's complaining to the government,' a user wrote. 'Most of the people don't have driving sense….and create chaos,' another user commented.
'Why is it not mandatory for organizations having more than say 200 employees to have atleast one bus service,' a third user reacted. 'What Gurgaon needs is, a metro that connects huda to igi and a bridge that takes people coming from Gurgaon to expressway directly without cybercity traffic. That bottleneck/ curve is a nightmare,' a fourth user said.
'So true, the condition is very bad here. Giving a tough competition to Bangalore,' another user chimed in.
Recently, heavy rainfall in Gurgaon severely affected the city's road infrastructure, leaving several major routes damaged. Among the worst-affected are two key roads managed by the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA), which developed deep potholes and visible cracks after the downpour, the reports said.

This Sholay star used to sell soap, had nothing to eat, was paid Rs 6 for his first film, name was..., died due to... Sholay continues to be one of the cult classic films in Bollywood. While lead actors Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra and Hema Malini received immense love for their portrayals, the actors who starred as supporting characters, including Asrani and Jagdeep, also received critical acclaim. Jagdeep, who portrayed Soorma Bhopali is still reminisced for his powerful dialogue 'Humara naam Soorma Bhopali aise hi nahi hai,' in Sholay. Do you know the actor had to go through extreme circumstances during his early phase? The heartbreaking struggles of Jagdeep's childhood Born as Syed Ishtiaq Ahmed Jaffrey in Gwalior during the pre-Partition days, Jagdeep's mother took him to Karachi after his father's demise. However, they later moved to Mumbai in search of better livelihood. With no family savings, Jagdeep's mother found a job at a local orphanage as a cook. He too took odd jobs such as selling kites and soap to earn whatever little he could to support his family. Jagdeep's first break in films Jagdeep then got his first break in the industry when someone came looking for kids to cast in B.R. Chopra's Afsana. He happily took the offer for mere Rs 3. On the set, he discovered that the actor who could speak Urdu would be paid Rs 6, so he eagerly said yes. From there on, he started getting small roles and collaborated with renowned filmmakers like KA Abbas (Munna), Guru Dutt (Aar Paar), and Bimal Roy (Do Bigha Zamin). He garnered recognition in 1986 with his quirky role in Shammi Kapoor's Brahmachari , becoming famous for his witty expressions and overall funny persona. It was until his character of Soorma Bhopali in Sholay rose him to celebratory status. With over 400 films and one of his most remarkable characters, veteran actor Jagdeep's contribution to the industry is still etched in the hearts of Bollywood fans. His journey from a tough childhood to a becoming a renowned comedian is nothing short of inspirational. The actor breathed his last on July 9, 2020 at the age of 81 at his Mumbai residence.
